How it works for schools
We offer a quality-led solution to the very real teacher recruitment crisis. Our programme trains high calibre and committed candidates, taking them from graduates to qualified teachers. Your trainee teachers will benefit from industry-leading training and can be shaped to match your school’s ethos from the beginning.
Cost-effective training
At a low daily rate, you get a TA and upon completion a qualified teacher all in one package.
Shape your own
Candidate working in your school is an excellent opportunity to shape their teaching philosophy.
Increase retention
Recruitment and retention can be resolved because candidates can be offered a teaching role at the end of the programme.
Decision making
You can make a decision over a longer period of time. Decide whether the candidate is suitable for your school, with no commitment.
How it works for graduates
Our programme offers a fully paid route into teaching with no further tuition debt. Through our employment-based school-centred initial teaching training you will complete a programme, resulting in a PGCE and qualified teacher status. All this while being fully immersed in a school environment, working from teaching assistant to a qualified teacher with experience in a classroom.
Earn while you learn
Unlike a normal PGCE course, you will earn a competitive salary and be comfortable in the knowledge that your salary is yours to do with as you please.
Zero tuition fees
All your course fees are covered by The Education Staffing Partnership’s programme so you won’t spend your salary on expensive university fees nor tuition fee loans.
Classroom experience
Most of your time will be spent in a classroom where you will gain priceless practical experience; preparing you for your career as a teacher.
First-class training
You’ll gain first-class teacher training at a reputable university. At the end of the programme, you will acquire qualified teacher status (QTS).
